Seagulls come around for food.  See to it that NO food is
available (lying around as trash or being actually fed by the
guests) and the seagulls will eventually leave.  You can scare
them away by shooting bottle rockets...that's what the fisherman in
the Florida Keys do.  By the way, it's against the law to shoot a
sea bird in Florida.  I wouldn't be surprised if it's against the
law there, too.

If there is food available, nothing will really get rid of them.
What should they leave if they have found a reliable food source?
It's worth a few scares to eat potato chips!
